With voting now open for Brummie of the Year, we’re going to take a look at all the candidates. First, the last of the pub-to-pub peddllers — Digbeth’s Mr Ralph.

Let’s let Nicky Getgood explain:

“Mr Ralph is something of a Digbeth institution, invariably found in one of the many Digbeth pubs, peddling customised goods from his battered old suitcases.  Rumour has it he holds the last existing Birmingham pedlars license.  I found Mr Ralph quite fascinating so I wrote a blog post about him after he kindly agreed to it, including photos of him and his Mr Ralph branded goods.”
